Thanks for your help.

If you'd like to see what the minong is like (esp the beaver dams) check out the video series that my husband and I did on the minong. We wanted to showcase that trail so others knew what to expect. We went rock harbor to windigo and we hit the actual minong on part 5 in the series if you want to ...

The plan is to take the Minong, because I have heard more people preferring what the Minong has to offer in regard to campsites. I'm a little hesitant about that trail as I have heard there are several beaver dams that have wrecked havoc to the trail in some sections. Just looking for as much advice ...

Hey everyone, looking for some advice on an upcoming trip I’m looking to book to the island. Last summer I hiked the feldtman loop with my son and it was amazing. I’m looking to do the length of the island the first week of June. I do have quite a bit of hiking/backpacking experience and am looking ...

Any of you ever make the hike to Lake Halloran? Any recent reports as to the condition of this type of hike off trail? Are there any routes that are drier than others? Looking to maximize our opportunity to fish.

Feldtmann -> Siskiwit Bay: 1 up and down, about 500' elevation, flat on top of the ridge and either end.
Siskiwit -> Island Mine: Flat, then about 700' up.
Island Mine -> Windigo (Washington Creek): 700' gradual downhill ...

This is the first time I will be hiking this loop and had a couple of questions for those who've done this a few times.

1. I looked up the mileage on each days hike and know that 8 miles can vary in difficulty and length of time depending on trail conditions. What seems to be the average mph when ...

Hi All!

My son and I are planning a trip up this labor week. We’re hoping to be hiking 4-5 days on the island. Any recommendations on trail routes? Looking to do some fishing as well.

We will most likely be starting from Rock Harbor.
